Help Wanted ....

A volunteer to run the competition each month (as some of you will have noticed sometimes I'm not that organised).
The position will bring glory, respect and a much coveted @allotments4all.co.uk email address!
If anyone is interested, let me know and we'll sort it out.
Cheers
Dan

Well now, I've been giving this some thought.
I quite like viewing pic's submitted on here due to the variety of subjects covered. We are a gardening site but we all have other interests too and it shows in the photo's submitted.
The topics covered are quite something and it's great to see
'through the eyes of another'
how wonderful and new things look when seen for the first time.
(Great stuff from many of you, love them, thank you.)
Via the camera we can go from macro to moon and every photo submitted is unique...how good is that?
I'd be willing to look after the monthly photo shoot, but...! Only if I could make a change or three to open it up a bit.
Personally I'd prefer 3 catagories.
1:
Anything to do with life.
That would include people, animals, insects; etc.
2:
One that didn't include living things....that would be buildings, scenic, water, etc.
3:
I would like to see a changing-by-month catagory with a theme. One month it might be clouds, then chimneys, then reflections, then macro then.....well, you get the gist.
The competition section is well supported so there is certainly a need to expand and Dan does have his hands full so; if
someone
does help take the strain, I for one would like to see an expansion of the topic.
Oh!...And to keep a level playing field, I'd have to insist that all submissions are
'as taken'
...that is, apart from cropping, no photo-software is used. (Not everyone has 'state of the art technology, eh?)

I'm backing Ken. If he has the time then there are some brilliant ideas there.
I know Dan is very busy and he does a fantastic job with the forum so it is probably a good idea to "delegate" :)

Quite a task running a busy site. Keeping track of what's going on and keeping up-todate with everything isn't easy, that's why I'm prepared to do a bit here and there to help what I reckon is the best gardening/friendship
www.site
ever, although the real hero's are the contributors themselves. Without the interesting in-put the site couldn't be as popular as it is, and don't we lot cover a heck of a lot of stuff!
Thanks for the couple of confidence votes to-date. If there is a general feeling that my ideas are a way forward, I'll certainly go ahead with it; but not at the cost of upsetting anyone on here.
The '
Competition'
catagory is somewhat hidden beneath the
'Gallery'
catagory so maybe many people out there have yet to discover it, that and this thread relating to possible change. I would prefer more people to see this thread and comment one way or the other before we head off down a path which might not be popular.
If you read this, please point others in this direction so we get a bit of feed back and opinion.
Thanks. Ken.

Ken, Go for it.
Can I make a suggestion without sounding too pushy ?
Can Leonnie be like a deputy assistant ?
In case Ken is on holiday or something. She does seem keen to help ! :)

Sounds a brilliant idea, Ken - with just one small proviso. Please - (for us 'point and shoot' types) - don't let it get
too
technical!!!
Good luck! x

One little problem! I take photo's in RAW I'm sure there are some others out there who do as well. RAW is to digital photo's like a negative is to film...it needs developing, sort of, most importantly needs sharpening at the very least from your description of what's allowed that would be excluded as it's altering the image!

Sounds good to me. I agree about not getting too technical, a lot of us just enjoy taking pics but haven't a clue when it gets to the finer points of photography.
